Christmasy Things IIIb

I did not buy the monkey's head ornament!
But I was tempted by the polar bear. But I didn't. Aren't you proud of me?

Christmasy Things IIIa

Oh and did I mention the pig?
I'm sorry but every tree needs a pig as a symbol of good health, happiness and prosperity for the coming year. I really don't know how we managed for the past 30 years without one. It was, you see, an necessity not a frivolity! But that's it, honest!

Christmasy Things III

Okay I know I said we didn't need anymore Christmas ornaments and that the tree is already burdened down but ...
I mean this really isn't for the tree and besides today is his feast day and we really should celebrate the St. Nicholas in some small way.
Okay maybe we should have passed on the Roast Turkey ornament but the gentleman at the Munchner Puppenstuben und Zinnfigurenkabinett kiosk in the Marienplatz was charming and exchanged goose recipes with us so ...

But that is it for ornaments and Christmas chachkas, honest!
